Book Discussion: The Change Function

The Change Function by Pip Coburn, ISBN 1-59184-132-1 has a great variety of case studies on the topic "Why some technologies take off and others crash and burn." TRIZ patterns of evolution and evolutionary potential researchers will be interested in these cases, and I'll be glad to have anyone who wants to comment use this blog as a vehicle for discussion. Likewise, the data (and maybe some of the conclusions, too) from the R. Kurzweil book, The Singularity is Near should be discussed by the TRIZ community.
